"Way too short but very good"

Well I really wanted this game and I had no idea what it was going to be about. The game takes place between the first and second games in the series

GRAPHICS: 9/10
Everything looks as if it could be real. The masks are kind of stupid looking, all they really are is a cut outs of other characters like Sly from Naughty Dog/ Insomniac more famous game characters.

SOUND: 9/10
The sound has been consistent with the previously made games very well done, one of the few PSP games I would play with the volume not muted.

SOUNDTRACK: N/A
None.

Game Play: 8/10
Really I had a great time playing the game but only 8 hours of the main story is too short. It was amazingly fun while it lasted but it didn't last long enough for my tastes I had to start a new file which I'm playing now. In all fairness to our furry little friend he got a few kind of lame weapons to help him in his exterminator career. They are pretty lame though being a bug stun flamethrower and sonic bomb. But rom what I've heard only about 4 to 7 hours of extra time after completing the game is spent doing the extras, collecting bug gems, precursor orbs, as well as doing the dream mini games.

MINI GAMES DREAM and MAIN STORY (Mandatory) 5/10
Ok well in this game there are mini games you have to do which are on the main story and optional dream mini games.

MAIN STORY MINI GAMES
There are only a few of these but they are quite annoying revolving around you pressing the D-pad and X, O, square and triangle button. You have to do these mini games to unlock your way back to the city or your next area by which you will have been doing the job you were assigned to.

DREAM MINI GAMES
These are optional mini games you can do for completion points and unlocking miscellaneous items or features revolving entire on either pressing directions on the D-pad, the X, O, square, and triangle buttons, or both together.

OVERALL: 8/10
I really had a lot of fun playing this game but the mini games are boring and pretty challenging. But I think they should make another and put more time into it to make it longer. Other than that the game is perfect.

BUY, RENT, OR DON'T BOTHER
This game is a must have for all PSP owners. The only downsides to this game are minimum and just overall a PSP best so a definite buy
